Introduction : C, G, Am7/E, G, C x 4 (quick change on the G)

When I lost my mind I swear I met this bloke,

Am7/E

and he told me lots of things but just a few stick out,

and he said "don't get yourself a job no roof or day plans to

just take a gamble, and see what life has for you.

Take your time, and see the things you wanna see,"

Am7/E

and I'm like "wow man I think that sounds just like me but,

it's not as easy as you're making out" and he said

"no but if you never try you're never gonna find out so"

well we went our separate ways,

Am7/E

and he got me thinking, about all the things I'd like to be but,

I've got it wrong before, and I can't think no more,

and I can't focus, right now on anything so,

I know a place in Breda Town,

Am7/E

It's not quite Amsterdam but man it's done me proud.

Cos I'm not quite the man I know I used to be,

but I quite like that and I think it suits me.

and while I'm writing this I know it's getting old,

Am7/E

and it's not long until I catch the bus from Dijon city hall and I,

I need more herb and a stimulating view,

and I just got chatting to this Dutch bird too.

I know I'm kinda quiet and I must seem strange,

Am7/E

but I just like listening to all the things you're saying and I,

I wouldn't wanna lie or make you look a fool,

cos I really like you , and your friends are so cool.

I know that I might take my time.

Am7/E

But I'm just in a funny space in my mind.

Sometimes it feels just a bit too much but,

damn I'm just so middle class these little things just get me down so,

I know a place in Breda Town,

Am7/E

It's not quite Amsterdam but man it's done me proud.

Cos I'm not quite the man I know I used to be,

but I quite like that and I think it suits me.

I know a place in Breda town,

Am7/E

IT's not quite Amsterdam but man it's done me proud.

Cos I'm not quite the man I know I used to be,

but I quite like that and I think it suits me...

Fine.
